87 was a great year. Amazing unique stuff coming out today, if you know what to look for. Obituary was 91. Gathering was 95. Give AN a chance, you may dig it.

Overkill started in 85 and still puts out the best thrash. Taking Over was 87 and imo the best thrash record ever, along with Artillery's By Inherittence and Exodus' Bonded by Blood.

Music is subjective. I was only playing what I did to meld the low and the high to a failed team. There are many subgenres of metal.

The best year for metal was 84. it is not even close.

There are more, but this was the spine of metal to come. 86 was great,, 87 better, 90 and 91 and 99 fantastic, but it all about quality and not quantity. This built what goes today. Bathory and Slayer and Darkthrone built on this, not Venom's crap.

Oh Bullpoop. Unlike Flames fans , us Oilers fans had no dillusiions about what we were-crap! Yes, there was misguided optimism, but never any denial. You guys want to place your team in some bracket above the Oilers, coyotes, Avs and Canucks, when in reality, you have a weak team that will place bottom 5 in the west. You meassure success in the standings against Edmonton. Only losers consider it an acomplishment to better than the worst team in the league.

Now you SHUT UP!

Boy, aren't you feisty. I know it's been rough for Oiler fans for the last 20 years, but you might want to wait until at least November until you go off. The Flames have only played five games and they've looked alright and Elliott has been fine. If they can cut back on their defensive breakdowns, I see no reason they can't be a playoff team. If they can't, maybe they can win that elusive lottery for once. Tighten things up and they could have won all 5 of their games.

Come back in a month.

I heartily concur. Just so long as the Flames are the bottom of the 3.

Yes he is. Reminds me of Dubnyk's poop year.

The entire team looked bad last night but I think Jokipakka looked especially bad. Soft plays in the D zone. I was pleasantly surprised by Kulak's play. He had some good rushes with the puck and made some good plays.
